As you start off another work week with your first sip of a Monday brew of joe, let the Gunslingers offer some reading material. We have had the good fortune of an incredible amount of fellow older gamers join our ranks in the first half of August, and you can add your best wishes to the following new Gunslingers!

That means eighty new Gunslingers in just sixteen days! Amazing! We are thrilled to have so many fellow parent and hard working adult gamers come aboard! Nearly all of these "greenhorns" have added an Introduction and/or a game contact to our Master Lists within the GS Forums, so make them feel at home and let the good (gaming) times roll!

If you are a fellow mature, casual gamer, you are invited to join all the activity with us!

Gunslingers - Long live the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 gamers who are long in tooth!

over 4,000 adults are in the clan? ok come on there has to be a kid in there and if not i didnt know so many adults played CoD, but i guess it shouldnt suprise me since CoD has over 30 million people fanbase

Are you interested in socializing with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 players your age but haven't been able to "weed out" all the adolescent gamers? Have you been unable to join traditional, time-consuming clans because, being responsible adult, you have had to juggle your free time with going to college, taking care of children, or being employed in a full time job? In short, are you interested in an online experience akin to "shooting the bull" with a group of drinking buddies? If so, then BO2 Gunslingers is the right place for you!

MEMBERSHIP

We are fortunate to have over 4,000 adults registered on our homepage.

We have the largest collection of parents. We have the largest collection of married couples. We have the largest collection of mature, casual gamers. And we have the largest collection of hard working men and women members.

If you would like to join the club, you need only to fulfill two things:

That's it! We don't ask for resumes, kill/death ratios, probation periods, or any other sort of silliness. You just want to have fun, right? So do we! If you would like to learn more about membership with the Gunslingers, feel free to visit our "Membership" page of at our website:

We like to ascribe the Gunslinger experience akin to having drinks with some buds after work or partying with them on the weekends. Nothing stops the music faster than a few knuckleheads, so we do have a few guidelines we expect people to follow during their stay:

-Pornographic and/or obscene material is prohibited.

-Self promotion by new members will likely be treated as spam. This includes promotion of own non-commercial websites.

-No personal attacks on other members or various sorts of offensive behavior is allowed.

-No glitching/hacking/cheating. We define such as purposefully accessing the game's programming or abusing a flaw in the programming to achieve an act or status that is not intended or possible otherwise.

CLAN FEATURES

The Gunslingers experience is as simple and non intrusive as joining up with other adults your own age and playing some games at your convenience. For those of you who like to take part in activities, events, and communications beyond that simple formula, we offer several popular, optional features as well:

As great as BO2 forums are for clans, it can be a bit limiting in regards to meeting other kick-back adult gamers who approach Call of Duty as a hobby rather than a second job. That is why the Gunslingers, the #1 home for parent and hard working adult COD gamers, has an entire site as it home base, complete with text chats, voice chats, and an extensive forum with over 4,000 members. Even if you have had a night of online matches that lead to throwing the controller against the wall (I'm looking at you, BlastingSlick), GS provides fun distractions such as a custom arcade with nearly 200 unique games to cool the head in.

All like-minded older gamers are welcome to join the fun and to join our clan.

The Fall is right around the corner. Do you know what that means? It is almost time for the gaming season! As you get back to the grind, the Gunslingers invite fellow older gamers to decompress with players their own age and of their own time restraints.

We have had a lot of parent and hard working adult gamers join GS as of late, so let's tip our hat to the folks that have done so in the last sixteen days:

Again, if you are a gamer over the age of 18 who is looking for a group of like-minded adults who understands the concept of gaming around taking care of children and working a full time job, you are sincerely invited to join the Gunslingers!

Gunslingers can mean many things. For example, you can spell out "Gunslingers" through binary code. What does it look like? Well, when you break down the word in zeros and ones, it looks like the following:

Check it out for yourself! That is computer (read: geek) talk saying Gunslingers.

Of course, we aren't computers. We are people. And, if you happen to sling those in-game guns while drinking some brews, it may be more apt to use breweries from around the world to spell out Gunslingers considering we have members from all corners of the globe:

Guinness [Ireland]

Us Heit [Netherlands]

Neustadt Springs [Canada]

Stone Brewing [United States]

Löwenbräu [Germany]

Ivan Taranov [Russia]

Nynäshamns Ångbryggeri [Sweden]

Good Bastards Brewery [New Zealand]

Exmoor [United Kingdom]

Ried im Innkreis [Australia]

Søgaards Bryghus [Denmark]

However you spell it, the Gunslingers clan is about gaming exclusively with fellow adults while enjoying your free time. We are laid back, friendly, and quite active. Most importantly, we are inviting you to join us.

To join, simply register at our clan's site. Take a look around. Nearly all of our content is viewable as a guest because we have nothing to hide. The openness is a reflection of how you will treated during your stay.

The Gunslingers clan is about having a good time. Let other groups worry about social hierarchies based on kill/death ratios. The fundamental benefit of gaming with a group of fellow adults who treat each other with respect, don't take the game too seriously, and are willing to share in the good cheer is that we are all about our members.

Case in point. Member Spotlights. Every month, we randomly select an active Gunslinger to interview and get to know in ways that may not normally be brought up while raiding the public matches. September's edition of said feature is none other than our long time member and good friend, bigfreddy!

You are welcome to read the interview (and past ones) in the Gunslingers Blog: Gunslinger Gaming

If you are reading this message and are looking for a gaming experience away from the drama and the bickering children, you are welcome to join the Gunslingers! Stop by our home-base and take a look around. If you like what you see, register in our forums to get slinging with the rest of us!
